WARNING 77: REFERENCED OFFSET IN SEGMENT DIFfERS FROM
OFFSET FROM GROUP BASE
F I L E:
pathname
G ROU P:
group name
MO DU L E:
module name
S E G MEN T:
segment name
Meaning
An assembly language reference to an offset from the base of the specified segment
in the specified group exists. However, the specified segment is not the first segment
in the group. This warning occurs only when BIND is in effect.
Cause
Unless you have deliberately created this reference, this warning is most likely the
result of an incorrect ASSUME directive or an incorrect OFFSET operator
specification.
Effect
LINK86 will process the specified reference as an offset from the segment base
rather than the group base. The output moduk will be valid.
User Action
If the reference to the offset in the segment was deliberate, continue debugging your
assembly language code as planned. Otherwis,e, check the correctness of the code,
particularly the ASSUME directives and OFFSET operator specifications; then
reassemble and relink.
